Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

[UpAllNight]

Great to see continuous improvements to existing rides but I do get the impression that they’re doing absolutely everything EXCEPT building some new rides in the main park.

Feels like they’re avoiding it by doing everything they possibly can elsewhere

Do we know when in October ?

Shame about the 2D. The depth really added to the scenes.

Still. It's an excuse to return next year

I’m unsure on the tech but would the employ techniques such as on ministry to effectively make it look 3d?

Not sure if that’s achieved by clever colour manipulation and the latest projectors…

Most likely parallax shifts that match the movement of the RV.

It has them already (unless you’re talking about Potter in which case so does that!)

And just a thought — could this end up being the first Disney attraction to feature a death scene since Alien Encounter?

Do you count this?

Really excited that they are adding more props and other real world set pieces so it isn't just a screen ride. More excited for this than I am for Frozen TBH

If Ratatouille won't be open for the holidays (or months after), all the more reason to have Frozen soft openings instead!

I like your optimism.

There's a bad tattoo for anyone looking for inspiration!

Tsk, that's a most unfriendly way to describe that picture of Martin's right upper arm

For those who can’t see the image, it does show the scope of this phase of the expansion project:

It isn’t mate.

Do you have your own estimation of track length? Obviously none of us can guess at boat speed.

Either way I’m seeing all the elements that I’d like! Having all the same segments as Splash is at least reassuring it’s not just destined to be underwhelming. Enclosing the opening segment gives more dark ride length percentage wise.

Rat is incredibly out of left field! I’m very intrigued.
